2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: 11.3

Comment: Zhang et al (2015) is a fine paper for the Southeastern US, but it should not be expanded out to the rest of the US. There are different dynamics in different parts of the country, as noted by the authors of this paper!

Proposed Change: Use more and different sources

NCX response: Zhang et al. provides a precedent in the peer-reviewed literature for using ownership group as a hierarchy for modelling forest landowner behavior. This does not constrain models to southeastern landowner types and behavior, but rather offers some guidance for considering a hierarchy within a baseline model.
